Point of Beginning (POB) recently interviewed Patrick Quigley, Nearmap's senior vice president and general manager of US, on the show floor at the 2017 Esri User Conference. The video interview highlights new capabilities Nearmap announced at the show, including high-resolution oblique aerial imagery and derivative 3D products.

Quigley explains how Nearmap's cloud-based oblique aerial imagery and 3D data gives GIS professionals unprecedented, immediate access to detailed visual context to help them plan and analyze sites, identify ground features, and monitor change remotely. “The main value that we bring is we allow people to do from their desk what they typically go out in the field to do,” Quigley says.

Nearmap's oblique aerial imagery allows users to immerse themselves in detail that replicates reality, giving them views from each of the four cardinal views. While aerial imagery is not new to the industry, Nearmap offers distinct advantages over bespoke aerial surveys and free, low-quality satellite imagery. For example, users can instantly pan and zoom through thousands of miles of high-resolution 2D orthomosaics and 3D oblique aerial imagery on-demand using their device's web browser. In addition, Nearmap regularly captures urbanized areas in the US so imagery is more current than the latest satellite images.
